How do I get the onion smell off my hands?

You can use the coffee that you used in your coffee machine, rub it really good all over your hands. Coffee absorbs smell really good.

Alternative: Use fresh lemon, cut it on half and rub it all over your fingers and palms, make sure you get enough juice on you:)

These two will definately solve your problem. They're classics.

At Bed Bath and Beyond they sell this little (what looks like) a steel bar of soap. It takes the onion smell away. That won't work now, but in the future it will help prevent that smell at work! ;)

Use a good, anti-bacterial hand soap and wash your hands thoroughly. You could even use one of those fancy hand scrubs with those exfoliating things that smell really good. Works wonders!

You could also try lemon which should work well (hope you like lemon), or tomato paste. Some people even use shampoo...but I don't think you'd wanna do that.

Good Luck getting rid of the stench! (and be prepared the next time you slice onions!!)

Stainless steel can remove the scent of onion or garlic, if you have a metal sink, try rubbing your hands against the side

I used to work in a kitchen, chopping buckets of onion, and I always found that a lemon wedge worked pretty well.

Turn on the faucet.

Take a piece of stainless steel cutlery ( knife, fork or spoon ) and hold it so that all of your fingers are touching the metal. Hold the cutlery and your hands under the running water for a few seconds. Works every time.

Try lemon juice. That always works with "seafood smell"

squeeze a cut lemon on your hands. spread juice around hands then wash under warm water.

I have a stainless steel oval bar of "soap" that I wash my hands with and it works for garlic too! I think I've seen them at Wal-Mart or kitchen gadget stores.

Rub your hands together with Stainless steel. A kitchen spoon usually is made from Stainless Steel and is what I use.
